Mark Bomback pitched 8 2/3 innings of six-hit ball and Neil Allen, after yielding a single, got the final out for his 20th save as the Mets downed the Cardinals, 4-1. The Mets scored twice in the fifth inning on a two-out walk to Joel Youngblood, triple by Bill Almon and double by Claudell Washington. Doug Flynn drilled a two-run single with the bases loaded in the eighth. [The Sporting News]
